BOSTON (AP) - The fiancee of a Boston medical school student
accused of fatally shooting a woman who placed an ad on Craigslist
says there's no way he could have done it.

In an e-mail to ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, Megan
McAllister says Philip Markoff "could not hurt a fly." She says he's "a beautiful person inside and out."

McAllister says she and Markoff expect to be married in August "and share a wonderful, meaningful life together."

The 22-year-old Markoff was arrested in connection with the death of a woman last week who advertised massage services on Craigslist. Police say he also may have been involved in other crimes against women who posted ads on Craigslist.
